29 and been living on my own since I stepped out of college in '06. To y'all saying there isn't any work, where are you looking? What did you decide on as a career path?

I recently had to move back in with my parents for a bit and I'm getting closer to 30. I have medical issues myself and am off on disability so can't really afford to live on my own right now. This just isn't in the U.S. though, here in Canada the exact same trend is happening.

couldnt have said it any better myself, its so expensive to live outside the house. the only people i know that do that at a young age are students and thats because of the loans they are given, as soon as that stops they all return back home looking for jobs that dont exist.

This thread smh
I cant knock it I guess. Ima grown[..] nicca. I cant be living at home with my moms.
Sheeeit. I cant live with anyone. I love being on MY OWN.

But yo...

What do yall do when its time to get pu$$y?
Hotels? Friends pad?

This might be the first SERIOUS thread ive eva come across. The struggle is real!
I'm about to start working on my Masters just to get out the crib. I just graduated in Dec and the rents look at me like i aint !!. Thankfully i just got a job but aside from that ive just been cleanin folks cribs and babysitting to get by.

That REFUND CHECK wouldve pretty much been my livelihood if i didnt get hired.

I dont !! on folks living at home at all cuz most nowadays are not there by choice. Post grad life is THE ULTIMATE struggle

You can't find a decent 1 bedroom apt in LA for less than 1300… landlords want you to make 3 times the monthly rent, the average kid out of college ain't making 20k alone year let a 40k b, catch 22 in full effect

So whats different from a person living on welfare.....its the same !!.......but its not because its your parents and not the government?

Personally I understand...........but dont expect sympathy when you got people who are out there doing it by themselves with no help.....and your sitting comfy cozy looking down on those who use government[..]istance.

TAH!!! Same mafuhkas in that thread about shorty with the iPad are living with mommy! O.o
Yo this whole site is comical.

[pic] for everybody who is getting by on their own and [pic] for all in the struggles. i've been on both sides of the spectrum. i been on my own since i was 16-24. mainly providing by any means. now im back home finishing my degree. it's weird that things can change so quickly. go from ballin in a loft to sleeping on a couch. but one thing about life that is forsure, "it goes on". so everyone who really cares about bettering themselves and getting out the OG's and making a life for themselves keep at it, things will come to those who work for it. For the younger kid's in the thread don't follow other peoples paths and take the advice from people older than you. This !! on TV isn't real life, you aint gonna become some star over night cus you think your funny or good looking find your dream/pa#sion and pursue it. If you don't know what that is, begin to experiment with different interest that can lead you there. Wish everybody the best.

Now on a less serious note.

Living at home

Pro's-Home cooked meals. that's about it [pic] My OG does live in a balling apartment with a view so that isn't too bad.

Con's- Hearing !![..] comments from my dad making me want to slap the !! out of his !![..]. The obvious not being able to bring a !! back to the crib(my car has been efficient lately). Being quiet so you don't wake nobody up in the crib. Having to deal with other peoples !!, when you already got your own.

#powerfulthread

My girl is 21 with a sis who is 26 older bro 29 all stay home. That's a !!ing shame, and all they do is work no school, blow their money on dumb !!.. Get your[..] out and learn responsibility.. It don't take nothing but two of them to get their own !! and stop leaching off of they parents

Proud to say I moved out on my own at 17 while finishing up High School & Working.

Lived in this area last year: [pic]

Now I just moved into Gastown in Vancouver [pic]

I know how it feels I hated staying with my mom bringing a !! to my mamma crib having to !! before she got back home on top of us always arguing all the time because 20 years old is to old to be having somebody tell you what to do.





If you have to do it just make sure you stacking bread because it's real out here I had to learn that the hard way.



Food
Rent
Lights
Phone bill
Gas
Insurance
Clothes


That !! adds up trust me

Yall niccas with the "big balls" need to man the !! up

I live in Miami which is 4th on the list and a lot of my friends still live at home with their parents. Most of them have good jobs too which would make it possible for them to move out. Some of them chose not to move out because their parents lost their jobs and/or got caught up in the mortgage crisis.

Just because an adult is living with their parents doesn't mean that they are dependent upon them. Sometimes it's the other way around.

True my wife takes care of her mother, but she has been on her own since 16, until her moms got sick..........

Im 28 and have been back at my parents house for almost 6 months now.........cuz once my chick split I couldnt make rent..............luckily Im Italian and its not uncommon to be 28 and living at home in our culture

23......just graduated 3 months ago
fortunate to have a job paying me $63K annually w/10% increase every 6 months
since its consulting I'll constantly be on the move every 1-3 years(relocation + food + housing paid for)
------------
There's many jobs out there if you study hard/smart, they will be looking for you instead
